Debra Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 The only way I could add me was to put France postcode (didn't recognise anything else) and now, though it looks like my marker is in the right place, it just says 'France' as my location!

hastobe Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Ahermm it's stuck me in a DOM TOM!! Doesn't seem to let you edit your details unless you're an admin so am condemned to permanently floating somewhere offshore....Edit - now working [:)] Edit again - its pretty cool - and has a chat room too [:)]Kathie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hastobe Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 If you click on the map where your village is (when you're in the edit (advanced) bit - see Steve's notes above) it will relocate your marker to the point on the map that you clicked. You can then change the name of your town and, when you save, it should come up with the right location and name. Kathie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 OK, I think it's fantastic, but is there a way for me to put myself in a general area? I live between Cognac and Saintes, and that's all I want to reveal for the whole of the www [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Come on Tresco, use some imagination will you. Just find somewhere close ish and put Tresco down as living there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I have also added myself to Sarlat in the Dordogne which is about 10 km away. However, it put me somewhere in Central France and it won't let me edit. Oh well, never been to that part of France before [:)]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Sorry Dotty, I like to stay close to the truth. See where WJT ended up? [:-))]Plus, I did use the words 'spell it out'. I just can't work out how to do it[:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Morning Tresco,If you sign in on the top right corner. Name, e-mail, then your location (say, if you want to put Saintes!) put Saintes, France. Then click by the gal marker. Forget the next 2 boxes for now. Then in the last box, just enter the code that you see beside it.(Numbers & letters.) Now you can click on Add me! & hopefully, you will appear in your chosen location.I'm hoping this makes sense & is not as clear as mud![;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tresco Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Mine didn't work when I just put 'Saintes', but it did work when I put 'Saintes, Poitou-Charente, France'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJT Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well, I have managed to have another entry so now I am located in Cental France, north of Clermont-Ferrand and Bergerac. At least I am moving in the right direction still about 65km west of Sarlat. Oh well at least it is a little nearer the airport [:)]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 It tells me I've added myself but as I can't see the map I can't see for myself! I'm on a Mac so perhaps this a Mac thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
